[ Upstream commit 9e36a5d49c3a6fc4a2e0ba2dc11b27c4a8ae6303 ]

Since the context is derived from the task parameter handed to
__audit_free(), hand the context to audit_kill_trees() so it can be used
to associate with a syscall record.  This requires adding the context
parameter to kill_rules() rather than using the current audit_context.

The callers of trim_marked() and evict_chunk() still have their context.

The EOE record was being issued prior to the pruning of the killed_tree
list.

Move the kill_trees call before the audit_log_exit call in
__audit_free() and __audit_syscall_exit() so that any pruned trees
CONFIG_CHANGE records are included with the associated syscall event by
the user library due to the EOE record flagging the end of the event.

[ Upstream commit ce48c457b95316b9a01b5aa9d4456ce820df94b4 ]

Since we've had:

  commit cb538267ea1e ("jump_label/lockdep: Assert we hold the hotplug lock for _cpuslocked() operations")

we've been getting some lockdep warnings during init, such as on HiKey960:

We've also had a similar warning in sched_init_smp() for every
asymmetric system that would enable the sched_asym_cpucapacity static
key, although that was singled out in:

  commit 40fa3780bac2 ("sched/core: Take the hotplug lock in sched_init_smp()")

Those warnings are actually harmless, since we cannot have hotplug
operations at the time they appear. Instead of starting to sprinkle
useless hotplug lock operations in the init codepaths, mute the
warnings until they start warning about real problems.

<title>cgroup/pids: turn cgroup_subsys-&gt;free() into cgroup_subsys-&gt;release() to fix the accounting</title>

[ Upstream commit 51bee5abeab2058ea5813c5615d6197a23dbf041 ]

The only user of cgroup_subsys-&gt;free() callback is pids_cgrp_subsys which
needs pids_free() to uncharge the pid.

However, -&gt;free() is called from __put_task_struct()-&gt;cgroup_free() and this
is too late. Even the trivial program which does

	for (;;) {
		int pid = fork();
		assert(pid &gt;= 0);
		if (pid)
			wait(NULL);
		else
			exit(0);
	}

can run out of limits because release_task()-&gt;call_rcu(delayed_put_task_struct)
implies an RCU gp after the task/pid goes away and before the final put().

Test-case:

	mkdir -p /tmp/CG
	mount -t cgroup2 none /tmp/CG
	echo '+pids' &gt; /tmp/CG/cgroup.subtree_control

	mkdir /tmp/CG/PID
	echo 2 &gt; /tmp/CG/PID/pids.max

	perl -e 'while ($p = fork) { wait; } $p // die "fork failed: $!\n"' &amp;
	echo $! &gt; /tmp/CG/PID/cgroup.procs

Without this patch the forking process fails soon after migration.

Rename cgroup_subsys-&gt;free() to cgroup_subsys-&gt;release() and move the callsite
into the new helper, cgroup_release(), called by release_task() which actually
frees the pid(s).

<title>sched/core: Use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() in move_queued_task()/task_rq_lock()</title>

[ Upstream commit c546951d9c9300065bad253ecdf1ac59ce9d06c8 ]

move_queued_task() synchronizes with task_rq_lock() as follows:

	move_queued_task()		task_rq_lock()

	[S] -&gt;on_rq = MIGRATING		[L] rq = task_rq()
	WMB (__set_task_cpu())		ACQUIRE (rq-&gt;lock);
	[S] -&gt;cpu = new_cpu		[L] -&gt;on_rq

where "[L] rq = task_rq()" is ordered before "ACQUIRE (rq-&gt;lock)" by an
address dependency and, in turn, "ACQUIRE (rq-&gt;lock)" is ordered before
"[L] -&gt;on_rq" by the ACQUIRE itself.

Use READ_ONCE() to load -&gt;cpu in task_rq() (c.f., task_cpu()) to honor
this address dependency.  Also, mark the accesses to -&gt;cpu and -&gt;on_rq
with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to comply with the LKMM.

<title>sched/debug: Initialize sd_sysctl_cpus if !CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 1ca4fa3ab604734e38e2a3000c9abf788512ffa7 ]

register_sched_domain_sysctl() copies the cpu_possible_mask into
sd_sysctl_cpus, but only if sd_sysctl_cpus hasn't already been
allocated (ie, CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is set).  However, when
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is not set, sd_sysctl_cpus is left
uninitialized (all zeroes) and the kernel may fail to initialize
sched_domain sysctl entries for all possible CPUs.

This is visible to the user if the kernel is booted with maxcpus=n, or
if ACPI tables have been modified to leave CPUs offline, and then
checking for missing /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu* entries.

Fix this by separating the allocation and initialization, and adding a
flag to initialize the possible CPU entries while system booting only.

When pmu::setup_aux() is called the coresight PMU needs to know which
sink to use for the session by looking up the information in the
event's attr::config2 field.

As such simply replace the cpu information by the complete perf_event
structure and change all affected customers.

[ Upstream commit 1136b0728969901a091f0471968b2b76ed14d9ad ]

Waiman reported that on large systems with a large amount of interrupts the
readout of /proc/stat takes a long time to sum up the interrupt
statistics. In principle this is not a problem. but for unknown reasons
some enterprise quality software reads /proc/stat with a high frequency.

The reason for this is that interrupt statistics are accounted per cpu. So
the /proc/stat logic has to sum up the interrupt stats for each interrupt.

This can be largely avoided for interrupts which are not marked as
'PER_CPU' interrupts by simply adding a per interrupt summation counter
which is incremented along with the per interrupt per cpu counter.

The PER_CPU interrupts need to avoid that and use only per cpu accounting
because they share the interrupt number and the interrupt descriptor and
concurrent updates would conflict or require unwanted synchronization.

[ Upstream commit 99687cdbb3f6c8e32bcc7f37496e811f30460e48 ]

The percpu members of struct sd_data and s_data are declared as:

	struct ... ** __percpu member;

So their type is:

	__percpu pointer to pointer to struct ...

But looking at how they're used, their type should be:

	pointer to __percpu pointer to struct ...

and they should thus be declared as:

	struct ... * __percpu *member;

So fix the placement of '__percpu' in the definition of these
structures.

This addresses a bunch of Sparse's warnings like:

	warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
	  expected void const [noderef] &lt;asn:3&gt; *__vpp_verify
	  got struct sched_domain **

[ Upstream commit a39f15b9644fac3f950f522c39e667c3af25c588 ]

Since kprobe itself depends on RCU, probing on RCU debug
routine can cause recursive breakpoint bugs.

Prohibit probing on RCU debug routines.

<title>cgroup, rstat: Don't flush subtree root unless necessary</title>

[ Upstream commit b4ff1b44bcd384d22fcbac6ebaf9cc0d33debe50 ]

cgroup_rstat_cpu_pop_updated() is used to traverse the updated cgroups
on flush.  While it was only visiting updated ones in the subtree, it
was visiting @root unconditionally.  We can easily check whether @root
is updated or not by looking at its -&gt;updated_next just as with the
cgroups in the subtree.

* Remove the unnecessary cgroup_parent() test.  The system root cgroup
  is never updated and thus its -&gt;updated_next is always NULL.  No
  need to test whether cgroup_parent() exists in addition to
  -&gt;updated_next.

* Terminate traverse if -&gt;updated_next is NULL.  This can only happen
  for subtree @root and there's no reason to visit it if it's not
  marked updated.

This reduces cpu consumption when reading a lot of rstat backed files.
In a micro benchmark reading stat from ~1600 cgroups, the sys time was
lowered by &gt;40%.
